| Tales of the Kojiki |
| Keiko Yamada |
 |
This piece is based upon the Kojiki text for the Shinto religion. One of the many tales in this book is the story of creation, which is what this particular piece tries to depict. This original composition is based on the minor pentatonic scale, made most familiar to the West with the popular Japanese folk song Sakura. This is a more dramatic side of composer Keiko Yamada. |
